The Peripheral

This is one of my all-time favourite series, I hate that Amazon cancelled this show. I still do not understand their reasoning for cancelling this show, I believe it would have become a cult franchise, if it had been given the chance.

Hey AMAZON, It's not too late to change that and do season 2. I know this thing was popular, look at the awards for quality it was given. This is my vote as a consumer and Prime Subscriber.

The show has mystery, intrigue, and action, with enough Science Fiction to make it super interesting. An easy to follow story line, and some nasty protagonists to make our current-day heroes real heroes.

I wish someone would have mentioned it here (unless it's several more reviews away) that yes, it is good but that cliffhanger is HUGE like I said. It's a good show, but if I knew the way it ended AND that it was Canceled, I wouldn't have gotten immersed in it at all. That really is unfortunate. I know that a lot of good shows get canceled, and bad ones thrive for years and years. I still would want to know. It's a good show like I said and it has a lot of cool effects, some great characters, some horrible scenes (poor dog) and so on. If you don't mind stories not wrapped up then watch it. I think I need to buy the book (or books) and find out that way which I hope to make time for.

I have to say that The Peripheral was definitely better than I thought it was going to be. This show had me hooked from the beginning. I wasn't expecting so much action. The writing and special effects were also great making this one of the better sci-fi series of the entire year. I'm not saying it's the best sci-fi series this year but it's definitely up there. Some people are saying the story is a little hard to follow but I didn't find that to be true at all. You definitely have to pay attention and if you do that it's fine. It's just not a show where you can be doing other things and not give your full attention. Jack Reynor and Chloe Grace Moretz were both excellent as the leads here. I can't wait for season two.

Sometimes a series could not be a hit until the real story started to fold out. However, streaming services or channels should have enough vision to keep that show on air because some shows could make them proud to be in their collection.

Like Breaking Bad, until the third season finale, it was not a hit but when season 4 came, everyone was talking about breaking bad and that show give amc a lot of credit for their future work for viewers.

The peripheral was a good series, with very interesting story line, good visuals and with their cliffhangers.

Prime would be wise not to cancel this show since their collection is not strong, they do not have very big hits or more than a few critically acclaimed series. But they chose to cancel the show after one season. Of course the series was not perfect but still was better than most of the series that airing now.

Netflix also keeps making this mistake for sense 8, the oa.. etc.

As viewers, we are losing our trust in this streamer services to connect with any series, because we do not know if they will come back with a new season or it will be canceled with too many questions and unfinished mysteries.

I hope prime will not do that for the wheel of time.

It's losing me with each episode honestly.

It started strong and I was really intrigued to see where things were going to venture to, but the last few episodes it just feels like the series has got itself stuck in a "limbo" where nothing is really happening and events keep repeating themselves; it's a real drag.

If it is building toward something I hope it gets there fast because I'm about ready to drop this series. I like a slow-burner so long as the story is actually going somewhere, but The Peripheral just feels like it's out of ideas already.

If it carries on with the constant "intense conversations" and attempted murders whilst the storyline remains in its seemingly never-ending stagnant position, then I give up.
